Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The objective of the module organisation is to give the student a basic understanding of organisations as both a theoretical and an empirical phenomenon. The organisational phenomenon is addressed from a macro, meso and micro perspective.

It provides an understanding of the number of business and managerial disciplines that are founded on an organisational context. These perspectives will be tied together through lectures and case-based exercises where students explore and engage with both theoretical and empirical challenges across the organisational perspectives.
